Kamut Cherry Crumb Breakfast Cake

Kamut® Grain is an early relative of modern durum wheat. The name “Kamut” is an ancient Egyptian word believed to mean “Soul of the Earth.” The grain originated in the Fertile Crescent thousands of years ago and its survival can be attributed to local peasant farmers who have kept this amazing grain in cultivation throughout history. It had almost faded to obscurity until it was revived in 1977 by two wheat farmers who recognized the value of this unique grain.

The berries are twice the size of wheat berries, higher in protein and have more amino acids. The berries are golden and plump when cooked and have a slightly sweeter flavor than wheat.

Kamut® berries are an excellent alternative to brown rice in cold salads, pilafs and other wonderful dishes. The flour can be added to most baked goods and used in place of whole wheat flour one for one. Due to its high protein content, creamy Kamut® cereal is a great way to start your day. Here is a delicious recipe using some of the Bob’s Red Mill Kamut® products. For more recipes, visit: www.bobsredmill.com. Enjoy!
